Sir:
	With all due respect, good sir, the only two PEG products done by
freelance writers and unreleased prior to the Cybergames buyout--*Rain o'
Terror*, by Mr. Anthony Ragan, and *Dead Presidents*, by myself--were both
submitted well in advance of their deadlines. Indeed, Mr. Ragan did so
after a previous author bailed out of the project, something for which one
might reasonably assume Cybergames would be grateful for.
	While I cannot speak to the problems you may be having on other creative
fronts, I would thank you never again to place blame (by implication)
falsely upon me or Mr. Ragan (whom I am not speaking for, BTW) in a public
forum. While the insult is in all likelihood unintentional, it is both
injurous to me as a an industry professional and very disappointing coming
from someone whom I have had the pleasure of meeting and the greatest
personal respect and admiration for.
